Those two first cool shots are memorials. Maybe this touristy snapshot from my P/S Canon G7X-II shows a different sort of memorial.

We can also see how young kids are less than impressed with artifacts of the past: witness a red hat that some kid or other tossed up into the exhaust nozzle of one of the engines. The Saturn was/is a mighty machine, an engineering marvel, and my tiny contribution to it all those years ago kept me “off the streets and out of trouble”, as my mother might have said.

Great shot AJ, a sight to behold, the young will not have the same feelings and respect for this technology because to them its nothing special they grew up around it where as we saw its development, so it means a lot more to us
